161. It probably has something to do with the fact that nicotine (尼古丁) is an appetite suppressant and appears to up your metabolic rate.
译文
这可能与尼古丁有关,它能抑制你的食欲,并且似乎可以加快你新陈代谢的速率。点睛
本句的主干是It...has something to do with the fact that...。that引导的是fact的同位语从句,对其进行解释说明,该从句包含两个并列的谓语is和appears。不定式短语to up your metabolic rate作appears的表语。suppressant意为“抑制剂”。metabolic意为“新陈代谢的”。have sth. to do with意为“与……有关”。如:
Do you have something to do with this group? 你和这个集团有关系吗?
up在句中作动词,意为“提高,抬高”。如:
The price of meat has been upped. 肉类的价格已经提高。
